Don't try to re-staple or stitch a wound that has opened back up.  Won't work without cutting back to fresh tissue and you'll have a hard time doing that without some lidocaine or Rompun.

Hydrotherapy works very well.  On minor flesh wounds, 99% of the time keeping it clean and maybe a little Penn will have him back up in no time.  If it's in an area where the dog can lick it, he/she will help keep it clean also.  I've also kenneled a dog with a wound together with another dog.  His friend will also aid in licking and keeping clean.
